Chapter 395: Time has come_2

Together, they helped erect the tombstone again. After the others left, Qin Mu stood in front of it and gazed at the portrait on the tombstone with an involuntary, small smile.

"Where did you find this photo?"

"On an abandoned cellphone."

Qin Mu turned to look at him, and Mu Yichen sighed, "Remember that cellphone you smashed that year?"

"Didn’t you say you threw it away?"

"Actually, I just secretly kept it."

Qin Mu...

"Liar!"

She couldn’t help but rebuke him, yet her heart felt warm.

"I’m going to continue deceiving you until you willingly call me ’husband’ in public."

Qin Mu, drawn to the expression in his eyes that contrasted with his defiant gaze as he looked up at the blue sky, unconsciously moved closer and nudged him with her shoulder: Let’s go back!

That gentle nudge seemed to touch his very heart.

Mu Yichen looked down at her, then boldly wrapped an arm around her shoulder and spoke to the portrait on the tombstone: "Mother-in-law, I promise to take good care of Mumu and bring her to visit you often."

Qin Mu thought, why does it sound like you’re my mother’s biological son? I feel like a little daughter-in-law.

Yet she didn’t say a word, simply letting him tug her away from the graveyard.

She had thought that Qin Haiming might immediately have someone make a new tombstone or repair the broken one, but instead, he had the broken pieces thrown away, and then...

Qin Mu’s heart ached unbearably; she planned to find that broken piece of the tombstone and bury it somewhere in her mother’s grave.

She wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do but was reluctant to discard it, the tombstone holding too many memories.

Perhaps she was too attached, Qin Mu thought.

The most important thing now was to catch the person who vandalized the tombstone and teach them a severe lesson.

She couldn’t stand it anymore, couldn’t pretend to be indifferent. People had bullied her to this point; if she didn’t fight back, would she even be human?

Later, when the two of them returned home, in the living room sofa, Mu Qingxin was holding the old man’s hand, reading his palm, and saying, "Grandpa, your palm reading shows you have romantic prospects this year."

The old man’s face flushed red: "You little wretch, you better not be fooling your grandpa."

"Really, look how clear your love line is! But you see here, this implies you’ll have a flourishing love life this year."

"So is grandpa’s romantic interest in the city or the countryside? Aunt Zhang and the others really do like me, but I’ve been hesitant. Take a look and see which one of them is more suitable for me."

The old man became interested and started to banter with his granddaughter.

Mu Qingxin smiled for a long while, thinking where had she ever seen those old ladies? Besides, she was just talking nonsense, wasn’t she?

"Grandpa, why don’t you just take them all? You could form a powerful Harem Group."

Mu Yichen casually mentioned as he sat down.

"I think brother’s idea is brilliant!"

Mu Qingxin, initially unsure of how to praise those old ladies, immediately found an out and agreed with her brother’s words when she heard them.

"Humph! Mumu, aren’t these siblings just two peas in a pod?"

"Yes!"

Qin Mu responded with a mischievous laugh.

The old man happily slapped his leg: "Don’t think I’m alone!"

Mu Qingxin and Mu Yichen both turned towards Qin Mu, who had just taken a seat, trying to hold back her laughter as she looked at them.

"Grandpa, this woman is definitely not on your side."

Mu Yichen said to the old man, glancing at Qin Mu.

"I am on grandpa’s side!"

Qin Mu promptly sat down on the other side of her grandfather and wrapped her arm around his.

Mu Yichen squinted his eyes in sorrow.

Mu Qingxin placed her hand over her mouth, dramatically widening her eyes in shock.

"Traitor!"

Mu Qingxin childishly accused her.

"How could I stand by while you two bully an old man? As someone as caring as I am, of course I have to stand up for grandpa."

Qin Mu playfully bantered with the siblings, her radiant lips and bright teeth complimenting her fair complexion, delighting a certain onlooker.

However, when Qin Mu caught Mu Yichen’s ravenous gaze, she immediately subdued her own, her face turning slightly red and she hid it against her grandfather’s shoulder.

"You come here!"

To Mu Yichen’s dismay, he became jealous when he saw her bury her face in the old man’s shoulder and immediately commanded her in annoyance.

Qin Mu...

Mu Qingxin shook her head helplessly: "Grandpa, just play with your granddaughter. As for your granddaughter-in-law, you’re not so lucky. Look at how sour your grandson is being?"
